The "beer capital of the world" was named the 17th best city to visit for the German festival in 2018, coming in behind Madison who placed 16th. 

WalletHub came to their decision based on 24 key metrics, ranging from German population, number of beer gardens per capita and average price for Oktoberfest celebration tickets.
